TEST ANIMALS
- Source: CIBA-GEIGY LTD. Tierfarm, 4334 Sisseln, Switzerland
- Age at study initiation: 7 -8 weeks
- Weight at study initiation: 151 - 211 g
- Housing: Animals were caged in groups of 5 in Macrolon cages type 3 with standardised soft wood bedding (Societe Parisienne des sciures, Pantin).
- Diet: Rat food, NAPAG No. 890, NAPAG AG Gossau, Switzerland, provided ad libitum
- Water: Drinking water, provided ad libitum

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 22 +/-3
- Humidity (%): 55 +/- 15
- Air changes (per hr): 15
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
other: Distilled water containing 0.5 % carboxymethylcellulose and 0.1 % polysorbate 80
Details on oral exposure:
VEHICLE
- Concentration in vehicle: 25, 50, 100 mg/mL vehicle
- Amount of vehicle: 10 mL


Doses:
250, 500, 1000 mg/kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5 males and 5 females
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: daily
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs, body weight, gross pathology
Statistics:
From the body weights the group means and their standard deviations were calculated. Where feasable, the LD50 including the 95% confidence limit were computed by the logit method (J. Berkson, J.Am. Stat. Ass. 39. 357-65, 1944).

Mortality:
Males
250 mg/kg bw: no mortalities
500 mg/kg bw: 2 mortalities, both 2 h after treatment
1000 mg/kg bw: 5 mortalities, one at 1h after treatment, four at 2 h after treatment.

Females
250 mg/kg bw: no mortalities
500 mg/kg bw: 2 mortalities, both 2 h after treatment
1000 mg/kg bw: 5 mortalities, one at 1h after treatment, four at 2 h after treatment.
Clinical signs:
other: No specific symptoms were seen, except for transient clonic- tonic muscle spasms in the animals treated with 500 mg/kg.
Gross pathology:
No compound related gross organ changes were observed. However, due to the colour of the test item, a red discoloration of the whole body was observed during 9 days in the animals treated with 250 mg/kg and during the whole observation period in the animals treated with 500 mg/kg.
Other findings:
The surviving animals recovered within 10 days.
